How to Make a Halloween Candy Cake

I have something spooktacular to share with you today! It’s an adorable and super easy to make Halloween Candy Cake. It’s made with supplies found at most grocery and discount stores. I picked my supplies up at Dollar General. This candy cake is a fun diy Halloween gift that you can make on the cheap.

Update: This was first published in October 2014, and has been recently updated with additional images. Can you believe Halloween is coming up next month?!

1. Cover aluminum cake pan with Duck Tape. This step is optional, but I think the black looks better than the foil peeking through.

2. Turn aluminum cake pan upside down, and glue the bottom of the Halloween tin to the top of the cake pan.

3. Glue the garland around the bottom of the aluminum cake pan.

4. Starting with the Halloween tin, glue pieces of wrapped candy to the side of the tin, working your way around until completely covered. Fun size candy bars, placed vertically work perfectly.

5. Repeat step for on aluminum cake pan.

6. To cover the top of the cake, glue wrapped candies horizontally onto the top of the tin. I used candy bars of the same size and shape, and stacked them like dominoes around the outer top of the tin. See picture below. In the very center, place several lollipops.

G’day! LOVE this idea! Thanks for sharing at our #SayGdayParty;
Please make sure to revisit if you haven’t already to Say G’day to the hosts and another person at the party!

What a fun idea! It would look great as party decor then double as party favors at the end 😉
